Herb Window

I almost didn't squeeze a second post in this week, but luckily I found a few free moments today {it's been a rather crazy week!} to share this little corner with you...

I love this time of year...

The garden is bursting with fresh produce and the herbs are in abundance. I love being able to just dash out my back door and pick a handful of fresh herbs...I use them for everything...and not just for cooking...I love to decorate with them as well...

I usually stash little vases of herbs around the house...their simplicity and frangrance is very appealing to me...but today I decided to hang a few herb bundles from this old window that I have...

I love being able to brighten the house with things from the garden...

Oooh I see the white floor! :) Wow~ such a beautiful display of nature and furniture~ you are so creative.. when are you going to get that call with the magazine photo/stylist offer? :)) I'll be waiting to see your Autumn pages! The window is lovely.. I have one with the same great peeling paint! xoxo, L

Gorgeous! That lil corner looks so peaceful and calming - and I bet the smell is intoxicating :)

I was wondering if you knew what sort of plant that is in your blueberry bowl (with the purple flowers)? We have the same plant and it seeds itself all over the place...I have never been able to find out what it is (it might be a weed for all i know!)

For a Girl like me that Love a Old chippy Window, that is Yummy. I Love how you styled it and shot it...So so Pretty. I Love everything blooming now too, I am running out of space to put all my blooming orchids right now.. have a Wonderful Weekend, XO Jamie

I know what you mean.I love it too when I cut my own herbs and everything tastes so much better. But your window idea is so cute and ingenius. Right now in Ausralia, not so many herbs are growing but come spring I'll be planting more and perhaps I'll try hanging some somewhere. Fiona

Ohmylanta! The only thing I can go and pick from outside now is dried hydrangeas. My poor garden is just shriveling from the heat.How lovely to just be able to walk out the back door and bring that much beauty indoors!What is the herb hanging on the window...beautiful!Debbie

Hi Tracey,It is always so lovely to see little corners of your home and your photographs are beautiful. I love herbs as well and their fragrance is just wonderful, isn't it? I always thiNk that bridal bouquets are lovely when they have the addition of herbs too.Have a wonderful weekend. XXXX

Hi Tracey! How perfectly sweet and adorable and inspiring! I always love your posts because my mind just starts spinning with ideas. I've got rosemary, thyme, lavender, and basil in my garden. Guess what I'm doing tomorrow? Yup. Going out to pick some and hang it in my kitchen. I'll be thinking of you, friend! :)

Gosh Tracey you always find the best windows, this half one is to die for and your herb decor just so pretty!*sigh*

I recently was lucky to get a big old transom window which I used as room divider betweenn my kitchen and dining room area. I hope you can make it over to have a looksie at it, would love to hear how you like it!

Hi my sweet friend!I too love this post!And the wonderful window as a drying rack...So you!...So inspired!I might have to borrow this idea though!Hope you are having a wonderful weekend...It's raining here so I am in my studio...making curtains!Blessings and hugs!Donna

Hi Tracey~~~ your window frame is awesome!!! I just brought some oregano in yesterday..mmmmmm. LOVE the scents of the herbs hanging in the kitchen. I'll be cutting some lemon thyme today.Beautiful post!!!!Debbie@houseatthelake

very pretty! i love herbs! i am trying to grow rosemary and lavender! however, i am on my second lavender plant! it keeps dying but i keep trying! if you have any advice, please share! hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Hey you sweet girl, I am always so happy to look at your wonderful blog and you give me joy and inspiration. Your corner is so fine and Tracey you are a master at making beauty around you.Now I look more what I have missed the time I've been on vacation.This week is our second book Live Beautifully ready and I have butterflies in my stomach hihi. Many warm hugs to you / Ingela.

Tracey this is such a beautiful idea- I love it. Did you hand stamp the design on your grain sack? I have been wanting to do this but I am a little nervous about ruining my bags... anyway it looks amazing.

I love the fresh herbs and garden flowers in the house too- in fact, I would rather have them than bunches of arranged flowers from the florist. The house looks great- can you come clean mine? So in awe...

I am trying to save my potted herb garden. The poor thing did not get watered when we were on vacation. I love to cut them and put them in little pitchers on my kitchen counter. The aroma is awesome and it keeps them fresh for quite a few days.Bristol
